...young lover, flaunting the newest fashions, and schmaltzing her way to the top of London society. The real-life Georgiana Cavendish was a relative of Princess Diana, a fact the filmmakers make sure to exploit. However, linking the story to Diana of Wales will not make this 18th century romp any more successful, nor will it evoke any more sympathy for its wronged society beauty than it would for anyone else in her beautifully jeweled silk shoes. “The Duchess” has a lot working in its favor, including strong performances, visual delights, and a moving score...

...wish the world were a different place. I’d like to go on vacation, go and romp and play—just, do that. But I can’t, because I’m busy, preening my CV or illustrating my libretto. And it’s all for you, Fitz. Give me something to work with here, something substantial—none of this “well-rounded” hogwash. Something as knowable and measurable as the $20 bill taped to the inside of this envelope...

...worthy, since the dash home stays within the comforting confines of the Yard. One technique to remain slightly more inconspicuous is to always travel with a long coat to hide everything—or nothing—underneath.

...state." She had filmed the 5-hr. orgy with a secret camera and had been interviewed for an article titled "Exclusive: Mosley Hooker Tells All: My Nazi Orgy With F1 Boss." She had been expected to testify that Mosley specifically asked the women to facilitate a Nazi-themed sex romp. The other four prostitutes, one of whom is a Ph.D. candidate, all denied that Mosley requested any Nazi elements...

...fake journalism. He's just written a book called Apocalypse How: Turn the End-Times into the Best of Times. While most creative works about Armageddon (The Day After Tomorrow, Omega Man, The Road) tend to be bummers, heavier on cannibalism than comedy, Kutner's book is a lighthearted romp that looks on the bright side of the end of the world. Yes, it's a shame that a Christian Rapture could teleport all the godly elect into heaven, leaving sinners (like yourself) to suffer a millennium of "Satanic chastisement" - but on the plus side, the raptured supposedly leave their...
